FAQ

Compressor procurement checklist — buyer questions

Does CompressorB2B inspect the factory?

Not as a default service. Inspection is a line on the RFQ. A listed plant is not a site-audited plant.

Do you handle payment?

No. Funds go to the plant. We do not take commission on the PO.

Compressor procurement checklist: Voltage and frequency matter as much as bar. Typical first reply: 1–2 working days after the plant confirms it can hold the duty.
